It's weird. Li-Li and I are traveling to Punta Cana in a little over a month. Our last few trips have all been to WDW. If this were a WDW trip by this time we would be in a frenzy of double checking ADRs. Plotting what we wanted to do on which days. Trying to figure out fast passes, and checking and rechecking car rental prices, etc. We'd sit around imagining what it will be like to hand out at Mexico with a tequila flight buzz while wondering over to Germany. Where are we going to eat? How many Mickey Bars can I munch upon during the trip. We'd be watching recent trip videos on YouTube and listing to extra Disney podcasts. Leah would be checking her lists and writing down notes.
For Punta Cana it's a lot different. It's more about dreaming what we'll eat after we get back after we can end this damn pre-trip dieting. (We are a vain people. We are not a naturally fit people. We enjoy snacks. So it's diet time so we don't look poorly next to all the Dutch and French tourists. Not that they all look great. Let's face it. Europeans seem to think the less fit one is the less bathing attire one ought to wear.) We are definitely looking forward to the trip. However, spending five days and four nights by a pool, or on a pleasant breezy beach with beer and snacks (keeping Irish skinned Li Li from burning in the sun she loves so much) is a completely different vibe.
Not exactly Disney trip related, but an observation.
